New residence halls ready for Shippensburg University students

Three new residence halls on Shippensburg University’s campus are ready for students to move in this weekend in preparation for the start of the new semester in January.

It is the first phase of a campus-wide construction project to increase capacity for its growing student base. The halls, named Presidents Hall, McLean Hall II and Seavers Hall, will house 924 students. When the full three-phase project is completed in 2015, the school’s total student capacity will be 2,975.

This is the largest single project in the institution’s history, according to the school’s web site.
